This is the time of year when it is very tempting to start your vehicle and let it run to warm up. However, there have been several reports of vehicles being stolen in the St. Malo and St-Pierre-Jolys, MB area when the keys were left in the vehicle.

St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP stress that prevention is the key to keeping your vehicle from becoming the next target. Some key tips to follow are:

  • Do not leave your keys in the vehicle
  • Use a remote starter to start and warm-up your vehicle
  • Do not leave personal belongings, such as a wallet, clothing or gifts in the vehicle
  • Make sure to lock your doors
  • Park your vehicle in a well-lit area
